I don’t think this suggestion would have a healthy effect on the game, but if you like ride ons and earning drops faster, I have some suggestions:
- Most ride ons are given by people who are not riding, usually your followers
- You want to collect followers who give ride ons, not just random people
- You want to follow people who are likely to follow you back
- Review your rides afterwards and see who gave you a ride on (the people not already following you)
- If the person follows a roughly equal or greater number of people compared to their followers, that means they probably want followers and will follow back - follow them
- If the person has a lot more followers than people they follow, don’t follow them. Go ahead and give them a ride on if they’re riding.
- If the person has a private profile, don’t follow them (unless they follow you first). Go ahead and give them a ride on if they’re riding.
- People you meet on social rides are more social, more likely to follow you and give ride ons - do more social rides to find them. Participate in the social aspect of the ride (stay with the group, friendly chat, help other riders, give ride ons to everyone riding with you)
- Do pace partner rides - giving ride ons is part of the pace partner ride culture. Give a ride on to everyone there.
- Stay with pace partners at least until the drops multiplier resets from 2.5x back to 1x
- Give plenty of ride ons in game - a few of those people will reciprocate and show up in your ride review, and a few will follow you because you gave them a ride on.
